The Americans’ run at the World Cup is over, thanks to a 2-1 loss to Belgium. The United States’ elimination is a bummer for die-hards and bandwagon fans alike. But for fans of the Belgian team, today’s game was a classic one: Despite an awesome performance by U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard, they saw their team score twice to advance to the quarterfinals, where Argentina awaits. Daily Intelligencer sent photographers to DUMBO (where U.S. fans watched under the Manhattan Bridge) and to BXL Zoute (where Belgium fans gathered for the match). See the agony and the ecstasy from those spotsbelow.
